Actually facts. Im an invester also. Will definantly buy when bottom . My concern is avg. 401k owner that could have moved to cash then wait to buy in. Was told to stay invested. Not a problem for you rich folks i guess.

My point exactly. Take my sister. 59. 30 grand ira. sp500 index. She could have moved to money market but did not. I called her last week to say at least learn how to exhange your fund to cash. she did not and I wonder if the average 401k or ira owner has even that amount of technical expertise. Just want people to be informed. the stay in and keep buying mentality was just wrong imo.

“I really think the stock market is something I know a lot about,” he said. “I think it took a hit maybe for two reasons.” One, he said, was coronavirus, and the effect it was having on business and supply chains. However, he said, “I think they looked at the people you watched debating last night and they say, if there’s any possibility that can happen. I think it really takes a hit because of that.”

Sorry didnt paste whole comment. Last night what he said, not last week sorry.

Forward looking Trump...

Posted by truthseeker7 on 2/27/20 at 11:07 am

He went on, a little later, “I think the financial markets are very upset when they look at the Democrat candidates standing on that stage making fools out of themselves, and they say, ‘if we ever have a president like this,’ and there’s always a possibility, it’s an election. when they look at the statements made by the people standing behind those podiums, I think that has a huge effect.”

Jumpin’ Jimminy Cricket. The “Democrat” debate took place on Tuesday night.

The stock-market slump took place on Monday and Tuesday. The stock market actually closes at 4 p.m. So the two-day rout had ended four hours before the debate even began.

I know the stock market is supposed to be a forward-looking indicator, but this is ridiculous.

Any rational thought on his comments?

This day 2008 - Total fed. deficit 50.2
2016 65.9
About 30% with my La public school math.
So not about doubled.

an excess of expenditure or liabilities over income or assets in a given period drives deficits.

- $1 trillion budget deficit (projected)
2019 - $960 billion budget deficit (projected)
2018 - $779 billion budget deficit
2017 - $665 billion budget deficit
2016 - $585 billion budget deficit

Here is the actual and projected budget deficit or surplus by fiscal year, according to CBO data for modern history.

You said what!Almost double since 2016. Then look at Bush.

2009 - $1.4 trillion budget deficit
2008 - $455 billion budget deficit
2007 - $162 billion budget deficit
2006 - $248.2 billion budget deficit
2005 - $319 billion budget deficit.

Obama cut in half.
2016 - $585 billion budget deficit
2015 - $439 billion budget deficit
2014 - $514 billion budget deficit
2013 - $719 billion budget deficit
2012 - $1.1 trillion budget deficit
2011 - $1.3 trillion budget deficit
2010 - $1.3 trillion budget deficit
2009 - $1.4 trillion budget deficit

The real problem seems to be Republicans in the White House. Facts from the Congressional budget office. Check it out sometime. I mean facts.
